Christians continue to suffer bitterly from Muslim persecution in the Middle East and Africa. The world remains silent.

Muslims beheading Christians was a visibly growing spectacle throughout the Middle East in the past months, reports Raymond Ibrahim, writing for Gatestone.

Ibrahim compiled a long lists of reports on Muslim atrocities committed against Christians throughout the Middle East and Africa.

He cites the harrowing case in which Islamic State (IS or ISIS) terrorists in Syria cut off a Christian man’s head, after compelling him to say the Shehada, the Islamic profession of faith, which states that “there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.”

When the Shehada is spoken before Muslim witnesses, the speaker becomes Muslim and thus, in theory, safeguards his life and possessions from the Jihad, the Muslim holy war. However, this was not the case for this man who, after renouncing his Christian faith for Islam, was still slaughtered on camera.

The apparent leader in the group of militants is heard instructing the group:

“No one will shoot him now, do you understand? He will not be killed by shooting because it is merciful for him. He will be beheaded because he is Kaffir, non-Muslim, sided [with] the government and was not praying at all. Everyone like him will have the same end, beheading.”

As the poor victim’s head is cut off, the group all shouts “Allah Akbar!” while watching intently.

The Christian Post adds that the clip was publicized “for the world to see … as a warning to everyone like him.”

Spreading Muslim Terror Against Christians

In Nigeria, the Islamic Boko Haram terror organization, which seeks to enforce Islamic law over the whole African nation, beheaded a six-year-old boy, because he was Christian. During Sunday church services, over 100 Islamic militants descended upon Attagara, a Christian-majority village. With machetes and machine guns, they slaughtered men, women, and children, the Christian Today reports.

“One villager, Sawaltha Wandala, was arriving at church for the second service when he saw children being massacred. One six-year-old boy had been slashed and thrown into a ditch, but he was alive. Wandala picked him up and was carrying him to a hospital in Cameroon, when he was stopped by five of the militants. The men reportedly took the child from Wandala’s arms and beheaded him, then began beating the 55-year-old with tree branches. After striking him in the head with a rock, they left him for dead.”

Boko Haram committed many other atrocities that day and has targeted many Christian sites, the Christian Today Reports.

In Kenya, militants from the Somali Al Shabaab Islamic organization abducted a group of traders near the resort island of Lamu, and drove them into a dense forest. The militants eventually released three of them, because they were Muslims, but beheaded the fourth, a Christian.

Ibrahim continues to chronicle the traumatic plight of the Christian under Muslim rule.

Archbishop Amel Shimoun, exiled Chaldean Catholic Archbishop of Mosul, Iraq, from which the Christian population has been expelled by ISIS, properly summarizes by warning the West and the Christian world: “You think all men are equal… Islam does not say that all men are equal. Your values are not their values. If you do not understand this soon enough, you will become victims of the enemy you have welcomed into our home.”
